I’ve lost a total of 7 pounds! While I should be happy, I’m frustrated that the weight loss isn’t going faster. I was hoping that at the end of week 4, I’d be 8 to 12 pounds lighter since my goal was three pounds a week. This means I’ll be 10 pounds short of my goal to loose all the weight by the time I get to the Blogher meeting at the end of July.
Could I be gaining muscle mass since I’ve barely exercised in the last eight years? Maybe that’s why I’m not showing better results. I’m exercising 45 minutes five days a week and taking a Pilates and yoga class. The one week when I did 1 hour of cardio a day I lost zero weight.
Still, I never exercised on Weight Watchers, and had better results. Then again, I was always hungry on WW and I’m not on the Extreme Fat Smash diet. Some days I think they’re giving me too much food to eat.
Here’s the weekly stats from the body fat estimator:
Waist size at narrowest point: 31"
Waist size at your naval: 35"
Hip size at widest point: 42"
Neck at narrowest point: 13.5"
Height: 5′ 3"
Weight? 154 lbs
Using your measurements of a 31 inches waist and weight of 157 pounds your body fat percentage is estimated to be 35.28 % using the U.S. Navy body fat formula, or 36.27 % using the formula developed by the YMCA.
When I started, I had 39.30 % using the U.S. Navy body fat formula, or 40.10 % using the formula developed by the YMCA so I’ve dropped about 4% body fat so far. The average body fat percentage for U.S. females is around 32%, with the ideal at 22%, so I still have a long ways to go.
